Objectives: To place in vending machines and determine if different sales strategies affect selection.
Participants: University students living in resident halls.
Methods: Vending machines included 50% and 50% non compliant snacks. Three sales strategies targeted student selection of : Reduced price, signage, and nutrition education activities. Three-way ANOVA was used for analysis.
Results: There was a statistically significant three-way interaction on snack selection between sales strategy, study period, and snack type, (4, 77) = 3.33, = .01. There were no statistically significant simple two-way interaction between study period and sales strategy for either , (1, 77) = 1.62, = 0.18, or NC snack types, (1, 77) = 2.02, = 0.07.
Conclusions: Sales strategies did not affect selections. Advocates for healthier snacks in vending machines can align with

To reduce opioid-related morbidity and mortality, local coalitions on substance use prevention in Kern County, California, have sought to increase equitable engagement and reengagement with harm reduction supplies, including naloxone. Through a community-academic partnership and funding from the local managed health care plan in Kern County, we ordered, stocked, and monitored a temperature-controlled outdoor harm reduction vending machine (HRVM) in Bakersfield, California. We outlined the necessary steps for successful procurement and implementation of community-based HRVMs.

Background: Measures of energy metabolism (energy expenditure [EE], respiratory exchange ratio [RER]) have been associated with ad libitum energy intake (EI) and weight gain in previous observational studies, suggesting that energy-sensing mechanisms drive EI to meet metabolic energy demands.
Objectives: We aimed to employ mild cold exposure as an intervention to alter energy metabolism and evaluate its causal effects on concurrent and next day ad libitum EI.
Methods: In a controlled crossover study, 47 volunteers (16 female; age 37.
